Impossible To Figure Carruth

December 21, 1999|By Will McDonough, Boston Globe

This is one NFL team's character report on Rae Carruth, who now faces first-degree murder charges in North Carolina, when he was coming out of Colorado: "A solid citizen from a single-parent home. Very supportive mother. Father was a Navy Seal. Has extended family. Conscientious student. Will graduate on time. Confident but not cocky. Works hard. Very respectful person. Good self-motivation. Double major in English and education. Likes to write. Overall grade 8 (on scale of 10)." Carruth took the Wonderlic Test twice, scoring 21 and 24, which is well above average and high for someone playing the wide receiver position. Go figure.
